That "thing" is on most early build 75s. The later builds like the UPS depicted have a light assembly similar to the 73. Please not that the thing is exagerated in the HP pic as a wide angle lense was used.

I looked at other pictures of that N number and it seems as though the feature isn't very off in that wide angle lens than any other picture. Very interesting find I had wondered the same thing myself.

If you read the comment on the picture it seas how this is the first HP proving ETOPS flight, to approve for Hawaii flights. Onboard are FAA officials etc. so for 100% this is a ETOPS antenna for the 757-200.

Quoting EMBQA (Reply 18):None of the pictures I've seen on A.net show a logo light on the horizontal

Well you won't see it on your picture. There are two lights on each side, they are recessed into the TOP of the horizontal stabilisor so they shine upwards onto the vertical fin. You need to look down on the tailplane to see them.
